3.	INITIATION; CONFIRMATION; TERMINATION; REPURCHASE & PAYMENTS; OTHER EVENTS

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, either Seller may, from time to time during the Swingline Availability Period, submit to Buyer a Transaction Request for Buyer’s review and approval requesting that Buyer enter into a Swingline Transaction, and either Seller may, from time to time during the Term Availability Period, submit to Buyer a Transaction Request for Buyer’s review and approval requesting that Buyer enter into a Term Transaction, in either case, with respect to any Eligible Loan that such Seller proposes to sell to Buyer under this Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement is not a commitment to enter into Transactions but rather sets forth the procedures to be used in connection with periodic requests to enter into Transactions, and each Seller hereby acknowledges that Buyer is under no obligation to enter into, or agree to enter into, any Transaction pursuant to this Agreement. Upon Buyer’s receipt of a complete Transaction Request and a complete Due Diligence Package, Buyer shall have the right to promptly request, in Buyer’s good faith business judgment, additional diligence materials and deliveries with respect to the applicable Eligible Loan, to the extent necessary for Buyer’s underwriting of such Eligible Loan. Upon Buyer’s receipt of the Transaction Request, Due Diligence Package and additional diligence materials, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to either (A) obtain receipt of internal credit approval, and notify the applicable Seller of terms thereof for such Eligible Loan or (B) deny the applicable Seller’s request for a Transaction (it being understood that Buyer shall have the right to review all Eligible Loans proposed to be sold to Buyer in any Transaction and to conduct its own due diligence investigation of such Eligible Loans as Buyer reasonably determines, and in connection therewith Buyer is entitled to make a determination as to whether to accept or deny a proposed Transaction in its sole discretion). Buyer’s failure to respond to the applicable Seller in respect of a Transaction Request shall be deemed to be a denial of such Transaction Request. If Buyer accepts a request to enter into a Transaction, Buyer’s entry into such Transaction and the payment by Buyer of the Purchase Price therefor shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:

(i) receipt by Buyer of a fully completed Transaction Request and a complete Due Diligence Package shall have been delivered to Buyer, and (A) to the applicable Seller’s

knowledge, all of the information contained in such Due Diligence Package and such additional diligence information related to such Eligible Loan, is true and correct in all material respects, and (B) to the applicable Seller’s knowledge, there is no additional information that should be contained in such Due Diligence Package and additional diligence information (but which is not included therein) to avoid such Due Diligence Package and additional diligence information being misleading in any respect;

(ii) the proposed date for entry into the Transaction shall be no less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of the related Transaction Request and a complete Due Diligence Package, and the Swingline Availability Period End Date (if such proposed Transaction is a Swingline Transaction) or the Term Availability Period End Date (if such proposed Transaction is a Term Transaction) shall not have occurred;

(iii) as of the Purchase Date, either (A) if such proposed Transaction is a Swingline Transaction, the sum of (1) the requested Purchase Price for the proposed Transaction, plus (2) the aggregate outstanding Purchase Prices at such time for all existing Swingline Transactions shall not exceed the Swingline Facility Amount, or (B) if such proposed Transaction is a Term Transaction, the sum of (1) the requested Purchase Price for the proposed Transaction, plus (2) the aggregate outstanding Purchase Prices at such time for all existing Term Transactions shall not exceed the Term Facility Amount;

(iv) as of the Purchase Date for such proposed Transaction (A) no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) no Margin Deficit shall be outstanding, (C) no Concentration Limit Amount shall be outstanding, (D) no Purchase Price Amortization Amount shall be outstanding, and (E) no other payment obligation shall remain outstanding (including, without limitation, any amounts payable pursuant to the Fee Agreement) unless, in the cases of clauses (B), (C), (D) and (E), the applicable Seller has requested that such outstanding amounts are netted against the proposed Purchase Price until such outstanding amounts are paid in full;

(v) the representations and warranties made by Sellers in each of the Transaction Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date for such Transaction, before and after giving effect to such Transaction, as though made on such Purchase Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties are made as of a particular date and except to the extent of any exceptions listed on Schedule 2 of the applicable Transaction Request), and QRS Seller, TRS Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor shall each be in compliance with their respective covenant obligations under each of the Transaction Documents;

(vi) the applicable Seller shall have paid (A) the Purchase Date Draw Fee due and payable in accordance with the Fee Agreement, and (B) Buyer’s costs and expenses pursuant to Section 30(d) (each of which may be paid in advance or may be netted against the Purchase Price until such amounts are paid in full);

(vii) the asset proposed to be sold to Buyer by the applicable Seller in such Transaction is an Eligible Loan and Buyer shall have obtained internal credit approval for the inclusion of such Eligible Loan as a Purchased Loan in a Transaction;

(viii) the purchase of such Eligible Loan will not result in a Concentration Limit Event or give rise to any violation of Section 3(n) in respect of any Purchase Price Amortization Amount;

(ix) as of the date of the first Transaction completed hereunder following the A&R Closing Date, Buyer shall have received all corporate and governmental approvals of QRS Seller, TRS Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor, all legal opinions of counsel to QRS Seller, TRS Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor (including, without limitation, as to authority, enforceability, non-contravention of organizational documents and law, security interest creation, security interest perfection by filing and perfection by possession and bankruptcy safe harbor in respect of qualifying Eligible Loans) and such other closing documentation as Buyer may reasonably request pursuant to this Agreement; and

(x) no event has occurred and is continuing which is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions precedent, in the event that Buyer determines that it will enter into a proposed Transaction, Buyer shall promptly deliver to the applicable Seller a written confirmation of such Transaction (a “Confirmation”) in the form of Exhibit I-A (if such Transaction is a Swingline Transaction) or Exhibit I-B (if such Transaction is a Term Transaction). Upon receipt by Buyer of the Confirmation executed by the applicable Seller, on the date requested by such Seller for consummation of the Transaction or such other date as Buyer shall determine, the Purchased Loan shall be transferred to Buyer by such Seller against the transfer of the Purchase Price from Buyer to an account of such Seller or an account nominated by such Seller. Once executed by both Buyer and the applicable Seller, each Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction(s) covered thereby. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such Confirmation and the terms of this Agreement, the Confirmation shall prevail. It is understood and agreed that once a Confirmation has been executed by Buyer and the applicable Seller, such Confirmation shall be binding on the parties hereto (absent manifest error) and shall constitute evidence of Buyer’s approval of the applicable Purchased Loan and the terms of the applicable Transaction. For each Transaction, (A) following any date after the Purchase Date that the Maximum Purchase Price Rate reduces in accordance with the definition thereof and the Confirmation evidencing such Transaction (except where the Maximum Purchase Price Rate reduces to zero (0)), (B) following any date after the Purchase Date that there is any change in the then outstanding principal amount of the related Purchased Loan, and (C) concurrently with the commencement of the Term Amortization Period, in each case, Buyer and the applicable Seller shall prepare and enter into an updated Confirmation evidencing and taking into account such changes, which updated Confirmation shall be deemed to replace the existing Confirmation for such Transaction and such Transaction under the replacement Confirmation shall be deemed to be a continuation of the Transaction under the replaced Confirmation. In addition, a Confirmation may be replaced in connection with a Future Funding Advance with respect to the related Purchased Loan in accordance with Section 3(c) and in connection with the transfer by QRS Seller to TRS Seller of Remainder Interests related to a Purchased Loan in accordance with Section 3(q).

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the applicable Seller may, from time to time in respect of a Future Funding Loan that is the subject of an existing Transaction, prior to the Repurchase Date of such existing Transaction (irrespective of whether or not the Swingline Availability Period (to the extent such Transaction is a Swingline Transaction) or the Term Availability Period (to the extent such Transaction is a Term Transaction) is then in effect), submit to Buyer a Future

Funding Request for Buyer’s review and approval requesting that Buyer advance to the applicable Seller additional Purchase Price with respect to such Transaction (any such additional Purchase Price advanced under this Section 3(c), “Future Funding Purchase Price”) on the date specified therein (the date on which such Future Funding Purchase Price is advanced, the applicable “Future Funding Date”); provided, however, that this Agreement is not a commitment to advance any Future Funding Purchase Price in respect of a Future Funding Loan that is the subject of an existing Transaction but rather sets forth the procedures to be used in connection with periodic requests to advance Future Funding Purchase Price in respect of a Future Funding Loan that is the subject of an existing Transaction, and each Seller hereby acknowledges that Buyer is under no obligation to advance, or agree to advance, any Future Funding Purchase Price in respect of a Future Funding Loan that is the subject of an existing Transaction pursuant to this Agreement. Upon Buyer’s receipt of a complete Future Funding Request and an updated Due Diligence Package, Buyer shall have the right to promptly request, in Buyer’s good faith business judgment, additional diligence materials and deliveries with respect to the related Transaction, to the extent necessary for Buyer’s underwriting of such proposed advance of Future Funding Purchase Price. Upon Buyer’s receipt of the Future Funding Request, Due Diligence Package and additional diligence materials, Buyer may determine, it its sole discretion, whether or not to advance the requested Future Funding Purchase Price. Buyer’s failure to respond to the applicable Seller in respect of a Future Funding Request shall be deemed to be a denial of such Future Funding Request. If Buyer accepts a Future Funding Request, payment by Buyer of the requested Future Funding Purchase Price shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:

(i) receipt by Buyer of a fully completed Future Funding Request and a complete Due Diligence Package shall have been delivered to Buyer, and (A) to the applicable Seller’s knowledge, all of the information contained in such Due Diligence Package and such additional diligence information related to the Transaction to which such Future Funding Request relates, is true and correct in all material respects, and (B) to the applicable Seller’s knowledge, there is no additional information that should be contained in such Due Diligence Package and additional diligence information (but which is not included therein) to avoid such Due Diligence Package and additional diligence information being misleading in any respect;

(ii) the proposed date for advance of the Future Funding Purchase Price shall be no less than five (5) Business Days from the date of delivery of the related Future Funding Request and a complete Due Diligence Package, and the Repurchase Date of the Transaction to which such Future Funding Request relates shall not have occurred;

(iii) neither Seller shall have previously submitted to Buyer a Future Funding Request in the same calendar month;

(iv) the Future Funding Request is being delivered in connection with additional advances of principal made by the applicable Seller to the Mortgagor under the Future Funding Loan, and the requested Future Funding Purchase Price shall (A) be greater than $500,000, and (B) shall not exceed the result of (x) the amount of such additional advances of principal made by the applicable Seller to the Mortgagor under the Future Funding Loan, multiplied by (y) the Maximum Purchase Price Rate then applicable to such Future Funding Loan;

(v) as of the Future Funding Date, either (A) if such Future Funding Loan is related to a Swingline Transaction, the sum of (1) the requested Future Funding Purchase Price, plus (2) the aggregate outstanding Purchase Prices at such time for all existing Swingline Transactions

(including the outstanding Purchase Price for the Transaction to which such Future Funding Request relates) shall not exceed the Swingline Facility Amount, or (B) if such Future Funding Loan is related to a Term Transaction, the sum of (1) the requested Future Funding Purchase Price, plus (2) the aggregate outstanding Purchase Prices at such time for all existing Term Transactions (including the outstanding Purchase Price for the Transaction to which such Future Funding Request relates) shall not exceed the Term Facility Amount;

(vi) as of the Future Funding Date (A) no monetary Default, material non-monetary Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) no Margin Deficit shall be outstanding, (C) no Concentration Limit Amount shall be outstanding, (D) no Purchase Price Amortization Amount shall be outstanding and (E) no other payment obligation shall remain outstanding (including, without limitation, any amounts payable pursuant to the Fee Agreement) unless, in the cases of clauses (B), (C), (D) and (E), the applicable Seller has requested that such outstanding amounts are netted against the proposed Future Funding Purchase Price until such outstanding amounts are paid in full;

(vii) the representations and warranties made by Sellers in each of the Transaction Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Future Funding Date for such advance of Future Funding Purchase Price, before and after giving effect to such advance of Future Funding Purchase Price, as though made on such Future Funding Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties are made as of a particular date and except to the extent of any exceptions listed on Schedule 2 of the applicable Transaction Request), and QRS Seller, TRS Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor shall each be in compliance with their respective covenant obligations under each of the Transaction Documents;

(viii) the applicable Seller shall have paid (A) the Future Funding Draw Fee due and payable in accordance with the Fee Agreement, and (B) Buyer’s costs and expenses pursuant to Section 30(d) (each of which may be paid in advance or may be netted against the proposed Future Funding Purchase Price until such amounts are paid in full);

(ix) the advance of Future Funding Purchase Price in respect of the related Transaction will not result in a Concentration Limit Event or give rise to any violation of Section 3(n) in respect of any Purchase Price Amortization Amount;

(x) no Safe Harbor Event shall have occurred; and

(xi) no event has occurred and is continuing which is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions precedent, in the event that Buyer determines that it will advance the requested Future Funding Purchase Price, Buyer shall promptly deliver to the applicable Seller an updated Confirmation. Upon receipt by Buyer of the updated Confirmation executed by the applicable Seller, on the Future Funding Date, Buyer shall advance the Future Funding Purchase Price against the increase in the Purchase Price evidenced by the updated Confirmation, which updated Confirmation shall be deemed to replace the existing Confirmation for such Transaction and such Transaction under the replacement Confirmation shall be deemed to be a continuation of the Transaction under the replaced Confirmation, as more fully set forth in Section 3(b).

(d) The applicable Seller shall be entitled to terminate a Transaction on demand, in whole only, and repurchase the Purchased Loan subject to a Transaction on any Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, however, that:

(i) such Seller notifies Buyer in writing of its intent to terminate such Transaction and repurchase such Purchased Loan no later than one (1) Business Day prior to such Early Repurchase Date;

(ii) on such Early Repurchase Date, such Seller pays to Buyer the Repurchase Price with respect to such Transaction against transfer to such Seller or its agent of such Purchased Loan;

(iii) on such Early Repurchase Date, following the payment of the amounts set forth in Section 3(d)(ii), no Margin Deficit exists (other than a Margin Deficit that would be cured by such early repurchase); and

(iv) no Default or Event of Default exists on the date of such early repurchase (other than a Default or Event of Default which would be cured by such early repurchase).

Such notice shall set forth the Early Repurchase Date and shall identify with particularity the Purchased Loans to be repurchased on such Early Repurchase Date.

(e) On the Repurchase Date or Early Repurchase Date specified in accordance with Section 3(d) for any Purchased Loan, the applicable Seller shall repurchase such Purchased Loan by paying to Buyer on such date the Repurchase Price, upon receipt of which, termination of the applicable Transaction will be effected by transfer to such Seller or its designee of the applicable Purchased Loan and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, such Seller pursuant to Section 5). In connection with each such repurchase, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the applicable Seller the related Purchased Loan File and, on such Repurchase Date or Early Repurchase Date, represents and warrants to such Seller that such Purchased Loan is being reconveyed to such Seller free and clear of any and all Liens and claims placed on such Purchased Loan by Buyer. Solely for a Repurchase Date occurring with respect to a Purchased Loan following delivery by Buyer to Seller of a Defaulted Loan Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 3(m) and as to which the revised Repurchase Date set forth in such Defaulted Loan Repurchase Notice is less than three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery of such Defaulted Loan Repurchase Notice, the applicable Seller shall pay the Repurchase Price by first, on the specified Repurchase Date, paying to Buyer all available funds on hand (if any) in payment of such Repurchase Price, and, if such amount is less than the Repurchase Price, such Seller may extend the date for payment of the unpaid portion of such Repurchase Price until the date that is three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery of such Defaulted Loan Repurchase Notice by delivering to Buyer on or before the specified Repurchase Date a Payment Extension Certificate.

(f) The applicable Seller shall have the right, from time to time, on any Business Day, to transfer cash to Buyer for the purpose of reducing the outstanding Purchase Price of, but not terminating, a Transaction and without the release of any Collateral and without any prepayment fee or penalty.

(g) If, at any time, Buyer shall have determined in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Sellers) that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate, or (ii) Buyer shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Sellers absent manifest error) that there has been or there is likely to be an alternative index or interest rate to replace the actual or potential phase out of the index on which the LIBO Rate is determined, Buyer shall give email or telephonic notice (with written notice to follow the next Business Day) thereof to Sellers as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, Buyer shall determine the Pricing Rate with respect to such Transaction until such notice has been withdrawn as a per annum rate equal to, in Buyer’s sole discretion, either (x) the Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Spread, or (y) the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Rate Applicable Spread (the “Alternative Rate”). For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall endeavor to apply such determination consistently to all similarly situated counterparties in commercial real estate mortgage loan repurchase facilities. In addition, Buyer will endeavor to provide Sellers with notice promptly after any such determination is made.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to effect or continue Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Transactions then outstanding shall, as of such date, be converted automatically to Alternative Rate Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall endeavor to apply the implication of any change in a Requirement of Law consistently to all similarly situated counterparties in commercial real estate mortgage loan repurchase facilities.

(i) Upon written demand by Buyer, Sellers shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any net actual, out-of-pocket loss or expense (not to include any lost profit or opportunity) (including, without limitation, reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket third party attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which Buyer sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) default by the applicable Seller in terminating any Transaction after such Seller has given a notice in accordance with Section 3(d) of a termination of a Transaction, or (ii) a default by the applicable Seller in selling Eligible Loans after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction in accordance with Section 3(a) and Buyer has agreed to purchase such Eligible Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. A certificate as to such actual costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the calculations therefor shall be submitted promptly by Buyer to Sellers.

(j) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer made subsequent to the A&R Closing Date:

(i) shall subject Buyer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction Documents, any Purchased Loan or any Transaction, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof (except for (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds

by, any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other conditions;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce in a material manner any amount receivable under the Transaction Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, Sellers shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days after Sellers receive notice from Buyer, which notice shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts absent manifest error), on a joint and several basis, pay Buyer any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall endeavor to apply the implication of any change in a Requirement of Law consistently to all similarly situated counterparties in commercial real estate mortgage loan repurchase facilities. In addition, Buyer will endeavor to provide Sellers with notice as soon as practical of any demand for any additional amounts payable by Sellers under this Section 3(j). This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Sellers of any or all of the Purchased Loans.

(k) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the A&R Closing Date has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance by an amount deemed by Buyer, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Buyer to Sellers of a written request therefor, Sellers shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days after Seller receives notice from Buyer, which notice shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts absent manifest error), on a joint and several basis, pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall endeavor to apply the implication of any change in a Requirement of Law consistently to all similarly situated counterparties in commercial real estate mortgage loan repurchase facilities. In addition, Buyer will endeavor to provide Sellers with notice as soon as practical of any demand for any additional amounts payable by Sellers under this Section 3(k). This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Loans.

(l) In the event that Buyer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that there has been an adverse change in law or interpretation of law regarding (i) the eligibility of this Agreement, the Guaranty and the related Transaction Documents for the safe harbors available to securities contracts under the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, those referenced in Section 23), (ii) the nature and benefits of such safe harbors as more fully set forth in Section 23, or (iii) the availability of such safe harbors to Buyer in the manner more fully set forth in Section 23 (a “Safe Harbor Event”), Buyer may, in its sole discretion, deliver a written notice to Sellers (the “Safe Harbor Notice”) specifying that a Safe Harbor Event has occurred and setting forth a revised Swingline Availability Period End Date and/or Term Availability Period End Date, in each case, determined by Buyer, which revised Swingline Availability Period End Date and/or Term Availability Period End Date may be the date of such Safe Harbor Notice.

(m) If a Material Default shall occur with respect to a Transaction, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, deliver a written notice to the applicable Seller (a “Defaulted Loan Repurchase Notice”) setting forth a revised Repurchase Date for such Transaction, which date shall be no less than two (2) Business Days after delivery of such Defaulted Loan Repurchase Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of a Defaulted Loan Repurchase Notice in respect of a Transaction shall have no effect on any other Transaction.

(n) The applicable Seller shall, from time to time for each Transaction, prepay the Purchase Price on account of such Transaction to ensure that at no time shall the Purchase Price Rate for each such Transaction exceed the Maximum Purchase Price Rate then in effect for each such Transaction (any such amount, a “Purchase Price Amortization Amount”). Concurrently with any reduction in the Maximum Purchase Price Rate in respect of any Transaction (in accordance with the definition thereof and the Confirmation evidencing such Transaction) that results in the Purchase Price Rate for any Transaction exceeding the reduced Maximum Purchase Price Rate for such Transaction, the applicable Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such excess, which Buyer shall apply in reduction of the Purchase Price for such Transaction.

(o) If a Concentration Limit Event shall occur, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, deliver a written notice to Sellers (a “Concentration Limit Payment Notice”) setting forth the related Concentration Limit Amount and setting forth the date for payment of such Concentration Limit Amount, which date shall be no less than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such Concentration Limit Payment Notice. Sellers shall, on a joint and several basis, pay to Buyer any Concentration Limit Amounts contained in any Concentration Limit Payment Notice no later than the date specified for payment in such Concentration Limit Payment Notice. It is agreed that no Concentration Limit Amount shall be considered “outstanding” until such amount is not paid on the Business Day specified for payment in the applicable Concentration Limit Payment Notice.

(p) With respect to each Future Funding Loan, upon the applicable Seller’s (or any of its Affiliates’) receipt of notice of litigation commenced by the related Mortgagor (or any Affiliate of such Mortgagor), alleging any failure by such Seller (or any Affiliate thereof), Buyer or any other Person to fund any future funding obligations under any Future Funding Loan, such Seller shall immediately provide written notice thereof to Buyer (annexing the notice of litigation and such other documentation as may be relevant or appropriate), upon receipt of which Buyer may request additional information and/or deliver a notice to such Seller declaring that, as of a date not less than fifteen (15) Business Days after such notice from Buyer, the “Repurchase Date” in respect of the Transaction to which such Future Funding Loan relates shall be deemed to occur, and such Seller shall repurchase such Transaction on such deemed Repurchase Date.

(q) Sellers may, at any time in its sole discretion, deliver to Buyer a Remainder Interest Transfer Notice with respect to a Purchased Loan which shall identify such Purchased Loan and shall specify an intended Remainder Interest Transfer Date on which QRS Seller intends to transfer the Remainder Interest related to such Purchased Loan to TRS Seller. The transfer of the Remainder Interests in accordance with the related Remainder Interest Transfer Notice from QRS Seller to TRS Seller shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:

(i) receipt by Buyer of a fully completed Remainder Interest Transfer Notice duly executed by Sellers not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the intended Remainder Interest Transfer Date;

(ii) the Repurchase Date for the Transaction to which such Remainder Interest Transfer Notice relates shall not have occurred;

(iii) as of the Remainder Interest Transfer Date (A) no monetary Default, material non-monetary Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) no Margin Deficit shall be outstanding, (C) no Concentration Limit Amount shall be outstanding, (D) no Purchase Price Amortization Amount shall be outstanding, and (E) no other payment obligation shall remain outstanding (including, without limitation, any amounts payable pursuant to the Fee Agreement);

(iv) the representations and warranties made by Sellers in each of the Transaction Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Remainder Interest Transfer Date, before and after giving effect to such transfer of Remainder Interests, as though made on such Remainder Interest Transfer Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties are made as of a particular date and except to the extent of any exceptions listed on Schedule 2 of the applicable Transaction Request), and TRS Seller, QRS Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor shall each be in compliance with their respective covenant obligations under each of the Transaction Documents;

(v) TRS Seller and Buyer shall have entered into a Confirmation in respect of the related Purchased Loan, in replacement of the then existing Confirmation between Buyer and QRS Seller related to such Purchased Loan, which replacement Confirmation shall be deemed to replace such existing Confirmation on the Remainder Interest Transfer Date and shall be deemed to be a continuation of the Transaction under the replaced Confirmation (and which replacement Confirmation shall, for the avoidance of doubt, retain the same Purchase Date and contain the same dates for adjustment of the Maximum Purchase Price Rate, Applicable Spread, Buyer LTV Target, Buyer LTV Maximum and Extension Fee Payment Date as were set forth in the existing Confirmation); and

(vi) to Seller’s knowledge, no event has occurred and is continuing which is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions precedent, on or promptly after the intended Remainder Interest Transfer Date, QRS Seller shall transfer to TRS Seller, and TRS Seller shall receive and accept, for good and valuable consideration agreed between QRS Seller and TRS Seller, all Remainder Interests related to such Purchased Loan, and thereafter, for all purposes, TRS Seller shall be the “applicable Seller” in respect of such Purchased Loan. Concurrently with each such transfer of Remainder Interest with respect to any Purchased Loan, Sellers shall notify Buyer in writing (which may be delivered by email) that the transfer of such Remainder Interests has been concluded and confirm the Remainder Interest Transfer Date therefor, and shall further notify Custodian and the applicable Servicer of such Purchased Loan of such transfer of Remainder Interests in accordance with the Custodial Agreement and applicable Servicing Agreement, respectively. In connection with any such transfer of Remainder Interests, upon the reasonable request of Buyer, at the sole expense of Sellers, Sellers will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as Buyer may reasonably request for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement including the first priority security interest granted hereunder and of the rights and powers herein granted.

(r) Sellers may, in their sole discretion (but acting jointly), by written notice to Buyer delivered no earlier than 120 days before the Term Availability Period End Date and not later than 30 days before the Term Availability Period End Date, elect to extend the date on which the Term Maturity Date would otherwise occur pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of “Term Maturity Date” from the Term Availability Period End Date until the Term Amortization Period End Date (such Sellers option, the “Term Amortization Period Option”), and in conjunction with such exercise may, in their sole discretion (but acting jointly), elect to permanently reduce the Maximum Purchase Price Rate for each Term Transaction to the lesser of (x) 65% or (y) the Purchase Price Rate in effect for each such Term Transaction on the Term Availability Period End Date. If Sellers have elected to exercise the Term Amortization Period Option and, as of the Term Availability Period End Date, each of the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied, the Term Amortization Period Option (and the corresponding permanent reduction to the Maximum Purchase Price Rate, if any) shall be deemed effective: (i) no monetary Default, material non-monetary Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no Margin Deficit shall be outstanding, (iii) no Concentration Limit Amount shall be outstanding, (iv) no Purchase Price Amortization Amount shall be outstanding (calculated giving effect to any permanent reduction of the Maximum Purchase Price Rate elected by the Sellers in connection with such Term Amortization Period Option), (v) no other payment obligation shall remain outstanding, (vi) there are at least three (3) Purchased Loans subject to Term Transactions, and (vii) the aggregate outstanding Purchase Prices of all Term Transactions is at least $25,000,000.

(s) If, at any time during the Clean-Up Period, either (i) there are two (2) or fewer Purchased Loans subject to Term Transactions, or (ii) the aggregate outstanding Purchase Prices of all Term Transactions is less than $25,000,000, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, deliver a written notice to the applicable Sellers (a “Clean-Up Repurchase Notice”) setting forth a revised Repurchase Date for all Term Transactions, which date shall be no less than two (2) Business Days after the delivery of such Clean-Up Repurchase Notice; provided that if, within two (2) Business Days of the delivery of such Clean-Up Repurchase Notice, Sellers have paid to Buyer all available funds on hand in payment of the Repurchase Prices for all Term Transactions, and if such amount is less than full amount of the Repurchase Prices for all Term Transactions, Sellers may extend the date for payment of the remaining outstanding portion of the Repurchase Prices for all Term Transactions until the date that is three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Clean-Up Repurchase Notice by delivering to Buyer on or before such second (2^nd) Business Day after the date of delivery of such Clean-Up Repurchase Notice a Payment Extension Certificate. For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of a Clean-up Repurchase Notice in respect of all then outstanding Term Transactions shall have no effect on any then outstanding Swingline Transaction.

4.	MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Credit Event relating to a Purchased Loan, Buyer may re-determine the value of the Mortgaged Property collateralizing such Purchased Loan in Buyer’s sole discretion and, if taking into account such re-determined value, the Buyer LTV of such Purchased Loan is greater than the Buyer LTV Maximum then applicable to such Purchased Loan (such occurrence, a “Margin Deficit”), Buyer shall calculate the amount required to reduce the Purchase Price outstanding for such Purchased Loan such that the Buyer LTV of such Purchased Loan, when recalculated with such reduced Purchase Price, is equal to the Buyer LTV Target then applicable to such Purchased Loan (such amount, a “Margin Deficit Amount”) and may require Sellers to pay to Buyer such Margin Deficit Amount. In payment or partial payment of such Margin Deficit Amount, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, first elect to calculate if any Margin Excess exists in respect of any other Purchased Loan and, if such Margin Excess exists on such

other Purchased Loan, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, to reallocate the related Margin Excess Amount by increasing the Purchase Price of such other Purchased Loan and, on a dollar for dollar basis, decreasing the Purchase Price of the Purchased Loan to which such Margin Deficit relates (a “Reallocation”). For the avoidance of doubt, a Reallocation may occur between Purchased Loans irrespective of whether such Purchased Loans relate solely to Swingline Transactions, solely to Term Transactions or to any combination of Swingline Transactions and Term Transactions. To the extent that a Reallocation takes place between a Purchased Loans related to one Seller and a Purchased Loan related to a different Seller, then such Sellers shall true-up the impact of such Reallocation. If no Reallocation takes place, or if a Reallocation does take place but such Reallocation does not result in payment in full of the Margin Deficit Amount, Buyer may deliver a written notice to Sellers (a “Margin Deficit Notice”) requiring Sellers to pay the outstanding portion of the Margin Deficit Amount and Sellers shall be obligated to pay to Buyer, within two (2) Business Days of the delivery of such Margin Deficit Notice by Buyer to Sellers, the remaining outstanding portion of the Margin Deficit Amount; provided that if, within two (2) Business Days of the delivery of such Margin Deficit Notice, Sellers have paid to Buyer all available funds on hand in payment of the remaining outstanding portion of the Margin Deficit Amount, and if such amount is less than the remaining outstanding portion of the Margin Deficit Amount, Sellers may extend the date for payment of the remaining outstanding portion of the Margin Deficit Amount until the date that is three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Margin Deficit Notice by delivering to Buyer on or before such second (2^nd) Business Day after the date of delivery of such Margin Deficit Notice a Payment Extension Certificate. All Margin Deficit Amounts paid to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4(a) with respect to any Purchased Loan shall be applied by Buyer to reduce the Purchase Price of such Purchased Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of a Margin Deficit Notice with respect to a Purchased Loan, the applicable Seller may elect, rather than pay to Buyer the Margin Deficit Amount, to repurchase such Purchased Loan on or before the date for payment of such Margin Deficit Amount set forth in such Margin Deficit Notice, by payment of such Purchased Loan’s Repurchase Price in accordance with Section 3(d). The failure or delay of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this Section 4(a) shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date, or limit Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Sellers.

(b) From time to time, the applicable Seller may request that Buyer determine whether, with respect to any Purchased Loan, in Buyer’s sole discretion, both (i) the Buyer LTV of such Purchased Loan is less than the Buyer LTV Target then applicable to such Purchased Loan, and (ii) the Purchase Price Rate of such Purchased Loan is less than the Maximum Purchase Price Rate then applicable to such Purchased Loan (such occurrence, a “Margin Excess”). If, following such Seller’s request, Buyer determines that there exists a Margin Excess with respect to any Purchased Loan, Buyer may calculate the amount of such Margin Excess, which shall equal the lesser of (A) the amount by which the Purchase Price of such Purchased Loan could be increased such that the Buyer LTV of such Purchased Loan, when recalculated with such increased Purchase Price, is equal to the Buyer LTV Target then applicable to such Purchased Loan, and (B) the amount by which the Purchase Price of such Purchased Loan could be increased such that the Purchase Price Rate of such Purchased Loan, when recalculated with such increased Purchase Price, is equal to the Maximum Purchase Price Rate then applicable to such Purchased Loan (such lesser amount, a “Margin Excess Amount”). Upon request by the applicable Seller, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, advance all or any portion of such Margin Excess Amount to such Seller, and concurrently increase the Purchase Price of such Purchased Loan, or Buyer may, in its sole discretion, undertake a Reallocation in respect of such Margin Excess Amount in partial or complete satisfaction of a Margin Deficit.

5.	INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS

(a) Prior to the date hereof, a Servicing Account has been established by Servicer and a the Waterfall Account has been established by QRS Seller at the Depository. Pursuant to the existing Blocked Account Agreement, Buyer has sole dominion and control over the Waterfall Account. All Income in respect of the Purchased Loans, as well as any interest received from the reinvestment of such Income, shall be deposited directly into a Servicing Account and, pursuant to applicable Servicing Agreement, shall within two (2) Business Days, be transferred by the applicable Servicer (net of any withdrawals permitted under the applicable Servicing Agreement) from such Servicing Account to the Waterfall Account and, upon such transfer, shall be remitted by the Depository in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 5(b), Section 5(c), Section 5(d), Section 5(e), Section 5(f) and Section 14(b)(iii).

(c) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Principal Payments received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans and on deposit in the Waterfall Account shall be applied, upon the direction and instruction of Buyer, by the Depository two (2) Business Days after receipt of such amounts in the Waterfall Account, as follows:

(ii) second, to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential accrued and outstanding in respect of the Purchase Price repaid pursuant to clause (i) above;

(iii) third, to Buyer, pro rata, (A) any outstanding Margin Deficit Amount, (B) any outstanding Purchase Price Amortization Amount, and (C) any outstanding amounts payable pursuant to the Fee Agreement;

(iv) fourth, to Buyer, first (A) any other outstanding amounts then due and payable under this Agreement, the Fee Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and then (B) solely for Principal Payments received by the Depository in respect of Purchased Loans related to Term Transactions, and solely to the extent that the Term Availability Period End Date has occurred, the remaining amount of such Principal Payment which shall be applied in reduction of the outstanding Purchase Price of such Purchased Loan related to such Term Transaction, and, to the extent of any excess remaining, to thereafter be applied pro rata in reduction of the outstanding Purchase Price of all remaining Purchased Loans related to Term Transactions; and

(d) If at any time a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income (other than Principal Payments) received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans and on deposit in the Waterfall Account shall be applied, upon the direction and instruction of Buyer, by the Depository on each Waterfall Date as follows:

(i) first, to Servicer, Depository and Custodian an amount equal to the fees and expenses due and payable to the Servicer, Depository and Custodian, as applicable;

(iii) third, to Buyer, an amount equal to the Price Differential outstanding in respect of all of the Purchased Loans as of such Waterfall Date;

(iv) fourth, to Buyer, any other outstanding amounts then due and payable under this Agreement, the Fee Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; and

(v) fifth, to Depository, an amount equal to the remainder (net of any minimum balance requirements applicable to the Waterfall Account) to hold until such time as (A) Buyer provides written notice to Depository that such Default has been cured to the satisfaction of Buyer in its sole discretion, at which time Depository shall apply such funds to Sellers (for distribution and allocation between Sellers as Sellers shall determine) or (B) such Default matures into an Event of Default, in which case such funds shall then be applied in accordance with Section 5(f).

(e) If at any time a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Principal Payments received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans and on deposit in the Waterfall Account shall be applied, upon the direction and instruction of Buyer, by the Depository two (2) Business Days after receipt of such amounts in the Waterfall Account, as follows:

(ii) second, to Buyer, an amount equal to the Price Differential accrued and outstanding in respect of the Purchase Price repaid pursuant to clause (i) above;

(f) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income (including Principal Payments) received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans shall be applied by the Depository upon the direction and instruction of Buyer delivered from time to time (as determined by Buyer) in an order and priority determined by Buyer in its sole discretion; provided that once all amounts owing to Servicer, Custodian, Depositary and Buyer pursuant to the Transaction Documents have been paid in full, any remaining amounts in the Waterfall Account shall be distributed to Sellers (for distribution and allocation between Sellers as Sellers shall determine).

6.	SECURITY INTEREST

Buyer, QRS Seller and TRS Seller intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Loans and not loans from Buyer to the applicable Seller secured by the Purchased Loans. However, in the event that, other than for tax purposes as more fully described in Section 23(i), any such Transaction is deemed to be a loan, Sellers hereby pledge all of their respective right, title, and interest in, to and under and grant a first priority Lien on, and security interest in, all of the following property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located (collectively, the “Collateral”) to Buyer to secure the payment and performance of all other amounts or obligations owing to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the related documents described herein:

Buyer’s security interest in the Collateral shall terminate only upon termination of Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement and the documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer’s security interest in the Collateral related to any Purchased Loans repurchased by the applicable Seller pursuant to Section 3(d) shall terminate simultaneously with such repurchase. Upon such termination, Buyer shall return the Collateral to Sellers and shall, following a request therefor from Sellers, deliver to Sellers such UCC termination statements and other release documents as Sellers shall have requested and as may be commercially reasonable. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to this Section 6, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”).

(i) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Sellers (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”), Buyer shall have the right to (A) declare the Swingline Availability Period End Date to have occurred, (B) declare the Term Availability Period End Date to have occurred, (C) to declare the Swingline Maturity Date to have occurred, (D) to declare the Term Maturity Date to have occurred and (E) to terminate this Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents, as determined by Buyer.

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Section 14(b)(i):

(A) Sellers’ obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Loans shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date;

(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall

be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the Accelerated Repurchase Date to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price (as so increased), (x) the Pricing Rate for such Transaction multiplied by (y) the outstanding Purchase Price for such Transaction (decreased by (I) any amounts actually remitted to Buyer by the Depository or the applicable Seller from time to time pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5 and applied to such Repurchase Price, and (II) any amounts applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 14(b)(iii)); and

(C) the Custodian shall, upon the request of Buyer, deliver to Buyer all instruments, certificates and other documents then held by the Custodian relating to the Purchased Loans.

(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer shall have the right to (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all of the Purchased Loans or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of any or all of the Purchased Loans, give Sellers credit for such Purchased Loans in an amount equal to the market value of such Purchased Loans as determined by Buyer in its sole good faith against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loans and any other amounts owing by Sellers under the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Loans effected pursuant to this Section 14(b)(iii) shall be applied in accordance with Section 5(f).

(iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Loans on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Loans may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Loans, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Loans does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Loans, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Loans on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Loans in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer.

(v) Sellers shall be liable to Buyer, on a joint and several basis, for (A) the amount of all actual out-of-pocket expenses, including third party legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, and (B) any other actual loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(vi) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer QRS Seller and/or TRS Seller. Without

limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Loans against all of Sellers’ aggregate obligations to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

(vii) Subject to the notice and grace periods set forth herein, Buyer may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time during the continuance thereof. All rights and remedies arising under the Transaction Documents, as amended from time to time, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

(viii) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and each Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses such Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Each Seller also waives any defense such Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Loans, or from any other election of remedies. Each Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(ix) Upon the designation of any Accelerated Repurchase Date, Buyer may, without prior notice to either Seller, set off any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by either Seller to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer against any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to either Seller. Buyer will give written notice to the other party of any set off effected under this Section 14(b)(ix). If a sum or obligation is unascertained, Buyer may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 14(b)(ix) shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 14(b)(ix) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, Lien or other rights to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).

15.	SINGLE AGREEMENT

Buyer, QRS Seller and TRS Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Buyer, QRS Seller and TRS Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of

any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

16.	RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS

EACH OF BUYER, QRS SELLER AND TRS SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT (BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION) FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAKE OR CAUSE TO BE MADE TAPE RECORDINGS OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ITS EMPLOYEES, IF ANY, AND THOSE OF THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH RIGHT TO RECORD COMMUNICATIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO COMMUNICATIONS OF EMPLOYEES TAKING PLACE ON THE TRADING FLOOR OF THE APPLICABLE PARTY. EACH OF BUYER, QRS SELLER AND TRS SELLER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF SUCH TAPE RECORDINGS IN ANY COURT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS.

17.	NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

A notice shall be deemed to have been given: (a) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, (b) in the case of registered or certified mail, when delivered or the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, (c) in the case of expedited prepaid delivery upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, or (d) in the case of email, upon receipt of confirmation of transmission and delivery, respectively, provided that such telecopied notice or notice sent by email was also delivered as required in this Section 17. A party receiving a notice which does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Section 17 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

18.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

19.	NON-ASSIGNABILITY

(a) The rights and obligations of Sellers under the Transaction Documents and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Sellers without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(b) Buyer shall be entitled to assign its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and/or under any Transaction or issue and/or sell participation interests therein to any other Person or issue one or more participation interests with respect to any or all of the Transactions and, in connection therewith, may bifurcate or allocate (i.e. senior/subordinate) amounts due to Buyer; provided, however, that (A) in connection with any assignment, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) the proposed transferee shall be a Qualified Transferee that is not a Prohibited Transferee or an Affiliate of a Prohibited Transferee, and (ii) Buyer will retain administrative

responsibility under the Transaction Documents, and (B) in connection with any issuance or sale of a participation interest, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) the proposed participant shall be a Qualified Transferee that is not a Prohibited Transferee or an Affiliate of a Prohibited Transferee, (ii) Buyer shall retain control and authority over its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and any Transaction, (iii) Sellers shall not be obligated or required to deal directly or indirectly with any Person other than Buyer, and (iv) Sellers shall not be charged for, incur or be required to reimburse Buyer or any other Person for any costs or expense relating to any such participation interest or to pay or reimburse Buyer for any costs that would not have been incurred by Buyer had no participation interests in such Transactions been issued or sold. In connection with any assignment or participation under this Section 19(b), Buyer may request in writing that Sellers certify within five (5) Business Days that a proposed counterparty is or is not an Affiliate of a Prohibited Transferee; provided that if Sellers do not provide their certification within such time period, such counterparty shall be deemed to not be a Prohibited Transferee and Buyer may proceed with such assignment or participation under this Section 19(b).

(c) Buyer, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Sellers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States, a copy of each such assignment and assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Buyers, and the amounts (and stated interest) owing to, each Buyer pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. The entries in the register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Sellers and Buyer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Buyer hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The register shall be available for inspection by Sellers and Buyer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) If Buyer sells a participation interest pursuant to Section 19(b), it shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Sellers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest herein or obligations under the Transaction Documents, provided, that Buyer shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to Sellers or to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Buyer and Sellers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the register as the owner of such participation interest for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e) Subject to the foregoing, the Transaction Documents and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in the Transaction Documents, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to the Transaction Documents and their respective successors, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under the Transaction Documents.

20.	GOVERNING LAW

21.	NO WAIVERS, ETC.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 3(g), Section 3(i), Section 3(j), Section 3(k), Section 3(l), Section 3(m), Section 3(o), Section 3(p), Section 3(s) or Section 4(a) will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

None of QRS Seller, TRS Seller, Guarantor, or Pledgor are an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) or a plan (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code) and none of their respective assets are “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified in application by Section 3(42) of ERISA.

23.

INTENT

(a) The parties intend that: (i) each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code (except to the extent the related Transaction has a duration that renders such term inapplicable) and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) payments under this Agreement are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) the Guaranty, the Pledge Agreement and the grant of a security interest set forth in Section 6, each of which guaranties and/or secures the rights of Buyer hereunder also constitutes a “repurchase agreement” as contemplated by Section 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code (except to the extent the related Transaction has a duration that renders such term inapplicable) and a “securities contract” as contemplated by Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. It is further understood that the parties intend that this Agreement constitutes a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, with respect to the Transaction so constituting a “repurchase agreement” or “securities contract”.

(b) The parties intend that each of Buyer, QRS Seller and TRS Seller is a “repo participant” as that term is defined in Section 101(46) of the Bankruptcy Code and that Buyer is a “financial institution” or “financial participant” as each term is defined in 101(22) and 101(22)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code respectively.

(c) The parties intend that each party (for so long as such party is a “financial institution”, “financial participant”, “repo participant”, or “master netting participant” or other entity listed in Section 555, 559, 561, 362(b)(6), or 362(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be entitled to the “safe harbor” benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract” and a “master netting agreement”, including (x) the rights set forth in Section 3 and Section 14(b) and in Section 555, 559, and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code to liquidate the Purchased Loans and/or accelerate or terminate this Agreement, and (y) the right to offset or net out termination payments, payment amounts or other transfer obligations and otherwise exercise contractual rights as set forth in Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(7), 362(o), and 546 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(d) Each party hereto hereby further agrees that it shall not challenge the characterization of (i) this Agreement as a “repurchase agreement” (except to the extent the related Transaction has a duration that renders such term inapplicable), “securities contract” and/or “master netting agreement”, (ii) each party as a “repo participant” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code except insofar as, in the case of a “repurchase agreement”, the term of the Transactions, would render such definition inapplicable, or (iii) Buyer as a “financial institution” or “financial participant” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.

(e) It is understood that either party’s right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder pursuant to Section 14 is a contractual right to accelerate, terminate or liquidate this Agreement or the Transactions as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is further understood and agreed that the parties intend that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with, this Agreement or the Transactions hereunder is a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with, this Agreement as described in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(f) The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution”, as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each of the Transactions hereunder is a “qualified financial contract”, as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to the Transactions would render such definition inapplicable).

(g) It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under the Transactions hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

(h) In light of the intent set forth in this Section 23, each of QRS Seller and TRS Seller agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of Buyer, QRS Seller and TRS Seller will execute and deliver any supplements, modifications, addendums or other documents as may be necessary or desirable, in Buyer’s good faith discretion, in order to cause this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby to qualify for, comply with the provisions of, or otherwise satisfy, maintain or preserve the criteria for safe harbor treatment under the Bankruptcy Code for “repurchase agreements” (except to the extent the related Transaction has a duration that renders such term inapplicable), “securities contracts” and “master netting agreements”; provided, however, that Buyer’s failure to request, or Buyer’s, QRS Seller’s or TRS Seller’s failure to execute, such supplements, modifications, addendums or other documents does not in any way alter or otherwise change the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder constitute “repurchase agreements” (except to the extent the related Transaction has a duration that renders such term inapplicable), “securities contracts” and/or a “master netting agreement” as such terms are defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, it is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Transactions constitute a loan from Buyer to Sellers, and that Sellers are and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, will continue to be, treated as the owner of the Purchased Loans for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Sellers and Buyer (and its assignees and participants, if any) shall treat the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence for all U.S. Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes (including, without limitations, on any and all filings with any U.S. Federal, state or local taxing authority) and agree not to take any action inconsistent with such treatment.

24.	DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended from time to time, the “1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

(b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

(c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

25.	CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

(a) Each party irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or New York State court sitting in Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such court, solely for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement and (ii) waives, pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and any right of jurisdiction on account of its place of residence or domicile.

(b) To the extent that either party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such party hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of any action brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement.

(c) The parties hereby irrevocably consent to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process by the mailing of copies of such process to them at their respective address specified herein. The parties hereby agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 25 shall affect the right of Buyer, QRS Seller or TRS Seller to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Buyer, QRS Seller or TRS Seller to bring any action or proceeding against the other party or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

(d) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE A COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

26.	NO RELIANCE

Each of Buyer, QRS Seller and TRS Seller hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to the other that, in connection with the negotiation of, the entering into, and the performance under, the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder:

(a) It is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the other party to the Transaction Documents, other than the representations expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents;

(b) It has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment, hedging and trading decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any Transaction) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the other party;

(c) It is a sophisticated and informed Person that has a full understanding of all the terms, conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those risks;

(d) It is entering into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder for the purposes of managing its borrowings or investments or hedging its underlying assets or liabilities and not for purposes of speculation; and

(e) It is not acting as a fiduciary or financial, investment or commodity trading advisor for the other party and has not given the other party (directly or indirectly through any other Person) any assurance, guaranty or representation whatsoever as to the merits (either legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial accounting or otherwise) of the Transaction Documents or any Transaction thereunder.

27.

INDEMNITY

Sellers hereby agree to indemnify Buyer and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”), on a joint and several basis, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, taxes, fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable, out-of-pocket third party attorneys fees and disbursements) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) which may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or any Transactions thereunder or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Loans that are Future Funding Loans relating to or arising out of any alleged failure by any Seller (or any Affiliate thereof), Buyer or any other Person to fund any future funding obligations under any Future Funding Loan); provided, that Sellers shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party and, provided further, that this Section 27 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from a non-Tax claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sellers agree, on a joint and several basis, to hold Buyer harmless from and indemnify Buyer against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Loans relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything other than Buyer’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Buyer in connection with any Purchased Loan for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Loan, Sellers will, on a joint and several basis, save, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against all actual out-of-pocket expense (including reasonable out-of-pocket third party attorneys’ fees), actual out-of-pocket loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by either Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from either Seller.

28.	DUE DILIGENCE

Sellers acknowledges that, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Sellers, Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Sellers agree that upon reasonable prior written notice to Sellers, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Purchased Loan Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Loans in the possession or under the control of Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers, any other servicer or subservicer of Sellers and/or the Custodian. Sellers also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering financial or accounting questions respecting the Purchased Loan Files and the Purchased Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sellers acknowledge that Buyer may enter into Transactions with Sellers based solely upon the information provided by Sellers to Buyer and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased

Loans. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Loans itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Sellers agree to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers, or in the Servicer’s possession. Sellers further agree that Sellers shall, on a joint and several basis, reimburse Buyer for any and all actual costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 28 and for Buyer’s actual costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with due diligence reviews with respect to Eligible Loans which either Seller proposes to make the subject of a Transaction under this Agreement; provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall pay for any Appraisals requested by Buyer.

29.

SERVICING

(a) Sellers and Buyer agree that all Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased Loans are being transferred hereunder to Buyer on the applicable Purchase Date and such Servicing Rights shall be transferred by Buyer to the applicable Seller upon such applicable Seller’s payment of the Repurchase Price for such applicable Purchased Loan. Notwithstanding the purchase and sale of the Purchased Loans and Servicing Rights hereby, the applicable Seller or, upon request by the applicable Seller, Servicer, shall be granted a revocable license to exercise the Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased Loans for the benefit of Buyer and, if Buyer shall exercise its rights to pledge or hypothecate a Purchased Loan prior to the Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 8, Buyer’s assigns (which license shall be deemed automatically revoked upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). The applicable Seller shall cause Servicer to service the Purchased Loans pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, in each case, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The applicable Seller shall obtain the written consent of Buyer prior to appointing any third party Servicer for a Purchased Loan (other than the Persons pre-approved in the definition of Servicer) or entering into or amending or modifying any Servicing Agreement with a Servicer (other than the entry into the initial Servicing Agreement with Situs Asset Management LLC, as initial Servicer).

(b) Sellers agree that, upon Buyer’s purchase of each Purchased Loan, Buyer is the owner of all related servicing records, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Loans (collectively, the “Servicing Records”) until the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loan has been paid to Buyer. Each Seller covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records which are in such Seller’s possession or in the possession of any Affiliate of such Seller and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s request.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the Purchased Loans on a servicing released basis or (ii) terminate any Servicer of the Purchased Loans with or without cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee.

(d) Neither Seller shall employ or permit Servicer to employ sub-servicers to service the Purchased Loans without the prior written approval of Buyer in its sole discretion; provided that Servicer may delegate certain administrative functions to third parties without Buyer’s consent.

(e) The payment of servicing fees under any Servicing Agreement not otherwise paid pursuant to such Servicing Agreement or paid in accordance with this Agreement, shall be solely the obligation of Sellers.

30.	MISCELLANEOUS

(a) All rights, remedies and powers of Buyer hereunder and in connection herewith are irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers of Buyer whether under law, equity or agreement. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, to the extent this Agreement is determined to create a security interest, Buyer shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.

(b) The Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered by email (in PDF format) shall be considered binding with the same force and effect as original signatures.

(c) The headings in the Transaction Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of the Transaction Documents.

(d) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Buyer under the Transaction Documents, Sellers shall, on a joint and several basis, pay Buyer’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel, incurred in connection with (i) the preparation, documentation, negotiation, execution and consummation of the Transaction Documents and of any Transactions under the Transaction Documentation, (ii) any amendment, restatement, supplement or modification to, the Transaction Documents and any Transactions thereunder, and (iii) any ongoing diligence undertaken in accordance with Section 28 (including expenses of third-party experts engaged in connection therewith). In connection with Buyer’s due diligence review of each Eligible Loan proposed by a Seller for purchase by Buyer pursuant to Section 3(a), Buyer shall endeavor to keep its fees and expenses of outside counsel at or below $5,000 (it being understood and agreed that notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall nevertheless be liable for Buyer’s reasonable, out-of-pocket fees and expenses of outside counsel in excess of $5,000 should such fees exceed such amount despite Buyer’s intentions). In addition, Sellers agree, on a joint and several basis, to pay Buyer promptly all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses for outside counsel) of any subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions hereof or of any Transaction Document, or of the performance by Buyer of any obligations of a Seller in respect of the Purchased Loans, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral or Pledged Collateral and for the custody, care or preservation of the Collateral and Pledged Collateral (including insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Buyer in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. In addition, Sellers agree, on a joint and several basis, to pay Buyer promptly all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services) incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Waterfall Account and registering the Collateral and/or Pledged Collateral in the name of Buyer or its nominee. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Sellers to Buyer under this Agreement.

(e) Each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or be invalid

under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

(f) This Agreement contains a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to such subject matter, superseding all prior oral or written understandings. This Agreement amends and restates (and as a result, replaces as of the A&R Closing Date) that certain Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of September 30, 2016 by and among QRS Seller, TRS Seller and Buyer.

(g) The parties understand that this Agreement is a legally binding agreement that may affect such party’s rights. Each party represents to the other that it has received legal advice from counsel of its choice regarding the meaning and legal significance of this Agreement and that it is satisfied with its legal counsel and the advice received from it.

(h) Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that a court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against any Person by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the Person who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

31.

TAXES

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Sellers under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Sellers) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then Sellers shall make (or cause to be made) such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased by Sellers as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 31) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Sellers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Sellers shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify Buyer, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 31) payable or paid by Buyer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Sellers by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Buyer shall deliver to Sellers, at the time or times reasonably requested by Sellers, such documentation reasonably requested by Sellers as will enable Sellers to determine whether or not payments hereunder or under any other Transaction Document to or for the benefit of Buyer are subject to tax withholding, backup withholding or information reporting requirements or are eligible for

a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 31(d)(i)-(iii), or 31(e)) shall not be required if, in Buyer’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) On or prior to the date on which any Buyer that is a U.S. Person becomes a Buyer under this Agreement and prior to the entry in the applicable register of any assignment or participation to a U.S. Person (and from time to time thereafter as required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of Sellers) Buyer shall deliver to Sellers two (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or successor forms) certifying that Buyer (and/or such assignee or participant) is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(ii) On or prior to the date on which any Buyer that is not a U.S. Person becomes a Buyer under this Agreement and prior to the entry in the applicable register of any assignment or participation to any Person that is not a U.S. Person (and from time to time thereafter as required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of Sellers) Buyer shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Sellers two (2) executed originals of IRS Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereof, as applicable) or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service (including, if applicable, a certification establishing such Person’s eligibility for the portfolio interest exemption under Code Sections 881(c) or 871(h)) certifying as to such Person’s entitlement to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, withholding Taxes.

(e) If a payment made to Buyer (or any assignee or participant thereof) under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Person shall deliver to the applicable Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Seller as may be necessary for such Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Person has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 31(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the A&R Closing Date.

(f) Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the applicable Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 31 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 31), it shall pay to the applicable Seller an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The applicable Seller shall, upon the request of

such indemnified party, repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any Seller pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Sellers or any other Person.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 31 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Buyer, the termination of the Transactions and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

32.	CONFIDENTIALITY

Each party acknowledges that Confidential Information may be delivered from one party hereto (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party hereto (the “Recipient”) pursuant to this Agreement. The Recipient of any Confidential Information shall use no less than the same means it uses to protect its similar confidential and proprietary information, but in any event not less than reasonable means, to prevent the disclosure and to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Each party agrees that it will not disclose or use the Confidential Information of the other party except for the purposes of this Agreement and as authorized herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient may use or disclose Confidential Information disclosed to it by the Disclosing Party as follows: (i) to Affiliates of such party or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, accountants and other representatives who are informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep it confidential, (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, stock exchange, government department or agency, or required by law; provided, that, to the extent permitted by the requesting body, the Recipient provides the Disclosing Party with notice of such requirement prior to any such disclosure and requests that the requesting body afford confidential treatment to the Confidential Information disclosed, (iii) to the extent required to be included in the financial statements of the Recipient or an Affiliate thereof, (iv) to the extent required to exercise any rights or remedies under the Transaction Documents, Purchased Loans or underlying Mortgaged Property collateralizing any Purchased Loan, (v) to the extent required to consummate and administer a Transaction under the Transaction Documentation, (vi) in the event Recipient is legally compelled to disclose pursuant to deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process by court order of a court of competent jurisdiction, and (vii) to any actual or prospective investor, transferee or hedge counterparty that, in each case, agrees to comply with the confidentiality requirements of the Transaction Documentation (including this Section 32) and has signed a confidentiality agreement to that effect incorporating customary terms and conditions; provided that no such disclosure made with respect to any Transaction Document shall include a copy of such Transaction Document to the extent that a summary would suffice, but if it is necessary for a copy of any Transaction Document to be disclosed, all pricing and other economic terms set forth therein shall be redacted before disclosure (except if the disclosure of such information is necessary for any of the purposes set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (vi) or (vii) above). In the event of any unauthorized disclosure or loss of, or inability to account for, Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the Recipient will notify the Disclosing Party immediately and will

take all available steps to terminate the unauthorized use or further unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Each Seller agrees to maintain the confidentiality of any information relating to a rate provided by a reference bank (as described in the definition of LIBOR), except (a) to its directors, officers, employees, advisors or affiliates on a confidential and need-to-know basis in connection herewith, (b) as consented to by the applicable reference bank or (c) as required by any Requirement of Law, or as requested or required by an Governmental Authority or regulatory authority or exchange (in which case such Seller agrees to inform the applicable reference bank promptly thereof prior to such disclosure).

33.	JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS

Each Seller shall be jointly and severally liable for the full, complete and punctual performance and satisfaction of all obligations of any Seller under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (irrespective of whether or not such obligation is expressly noted by its terms as being a joint and several obligation of Sellers). Accordingly, each Seller waives any and all notice of creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the obligations of any Seller under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and notice of or proof of reliance by Buyer upon each Seller’s joint and several liability. Each Seller waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon such Seller with respect to the obligations of any Seller under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Seller, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation, to pursue such rights and remedies hereunder against any Seller or any other Person or against any collateral security therefor or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Buyer to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from such Seller or any such other Person to realize upon any such collateral security or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of such Seller or any such other Person or any such collateral security, or right of offset, shall not relieve such Seller of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Buyer against such Seller.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

REGARDING EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED LOAN

With respect to each Purchased Loan and the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, on the related Purchase Date and at all times while this Agreement and any Transaction contemplated hereunder is in effect, Seller shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of such date; provided, however, that, with respect to any Purchased Loan, such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be modified by any exceptions hereto contained in Schedule 2 attached to the related Transaction Request delivered by Seller to Buyer prior to the issuance of a Confirmation with respect thereto.

(1)

Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Loans. Each Purchased Loan is an Eligible Loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation or pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Purchased Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Purchased Loan. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Purchased Loan, and the assignment to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Purchased Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Purchased Loan.

(2)

Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Purchased Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency, one-action or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (b) that certain provisions in such Purchased Loan Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance or prepayment fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (a) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Purchased Loan Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (a) and (b) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”). Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Purchased Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Purchased Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Purchased Loan Documents.

-1-

(3)

Mortgage Provisions. The Purchased Loan Documents for each Purchased Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

(4)

Hospitality Provisions. The Purchased Loan Documents for each Purchased Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Purchased Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

(5)

Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Loan File or as otherwise provided in the related Purchased Loan Documents (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, guaranty and related Purchased Loan Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect that could have a material adverse effect on Purchased Loan; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the Mortgagor nor the related guarantor nor the related participating Person has been released from its material obligations under the Purchased Loan Documents. With respect to each Purchased Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Purchased Loan File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Purchased Loan consented to by Seller.

(6)

Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to Buyer. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee or leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Purchased Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances) is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a Title Policy (as defined below). Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Purchased Loan establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on property described therein, except as such enforcement may be limited by Standard Qualifications subject to the limitations described in Paragraph (9) below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

-2-

(7)

Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Purchased Loan (or with respect to a Purchased Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments due and payable but not yet delinquent; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; and (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; provided that none of which items (a) through (e), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). None of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Seller, nor to Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Purchased Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the area shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

(8)	Junior Liens. There are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances). Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

(9)

Assignment of Leases. There exists as part of the related Purchased Loan File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. No Person other than the related Mortgagor owns any interest in any payments due under such lease or leases that is superior to or of equal priority with the Mortgagee’s interest therein. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Purchased Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

-3-

(10)

UCC Filings. Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC-1 financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Purchased Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Purchased Loan Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC-1 financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-2 or UCC-3 assignment, if any, of such financing statement to Seller was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed.

(11)

Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Purchased Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Purchased Loan and within twelve months of the Purchase Date. An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Purchased Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Purchase Date. To Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, each related Mortgaged Property was (a) free and clear of any material damage, (b) in good repair and condition and (c) is free of structural defects, except in each case (i) for any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Purchased Loan, (ii) if such repairs have been completed or (iii) if escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by Seller with respect to similar loans its holds for its own account have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. Seller has no knowledge of any material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

-4-

(12)

Taxes and Assessments. All real estate taxes, governmental assessments and other similar outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Purchase Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this Paragraph (12), real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

(13)

Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

(14)

Actions Concerning Purchased Loan. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date, there was no pending, filed or threatened action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Purchased Loan Documents, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property, (f) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Purchased Loan Documents, (g) the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Purchased Loan or (h) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

(15)

Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with Mortgagee pursuant to the Purchased Loan Documents are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with Mortgagee under the related Purchased Loan Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Buyer or its servicer. Any and all requirements under the Purchased Loan Documents as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchased Loan Documents.

(16)

No Holdbacks. The principal balance of the Purchased Loan set forth on the Purchased Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Purchased Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursements of any such escrow fund made on or prior to the Purchase Date.

-5-

(17)

Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Purchased Loan Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of any one of the following: (i) at least “A-:VII” from A.M. Best Company, Inc., (ii) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or (iii) at least “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (collectively, the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Purchased Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Loan Documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Purchased Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months); (ii) for a Purchased Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more, contains a 180 day “extended period of indemnity”; and (iii) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration.

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization.

If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy, the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Loan Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by a prudent institutional commercial mortgage lender for loans originated for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

-6-

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (the “SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (the “PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL or PML, as applicable, would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VII” by A.M. Best Company, Inc. or “A3” (or the equivalent) from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service in an amount not less than 150% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

The Purchased Loan Documents require insurance proceeds in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the related Purchased Loan, the Mortgagee (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this Paragraph (17) required to be paid as of the Purchase Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the Mortgagee under the Purchased Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of Buyer. Each related Purchased Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums and other related expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

(18)

Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Purchased Loan Documents require the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created or the non-recourse carveout guarantor under the Purchased Loan Documents has indemnified the Mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith.

-7-

(19)

No Encroachments. To Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination (which may have been a previously existing “as built” survey) and the Title Policy for each Purchased Loan, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Purchased Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements have been obtained under the Title Policy.

(20)

No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Purchased Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an anticipated repayment date loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the anticipated repayment date) or an equity participation by Seller.

(21)

REMIC. The Purchased Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (a) the issue price of the Purchased Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Purchased Loan and (b) either: (i) such Purchased Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (A) at the date the Purchased Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Loan on such date or (B) at the Purchase Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Loan on such date, provided that, for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Purchased Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Purchased Loan; or (ii) substantially all of the proceeds of such Purchased Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Purchased Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Purchased Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Purchase Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (i) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Purchased Loan or (ii) satisfies the provisions of either clause (b)(i)(A) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Purchased Loan was originated) or clause (b)(i)(B), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Purchased Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-(b)(2). All terms used in this Paragraph (21) shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

-8-

(22)

Compliance with Usury Laws. The interest rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charges, exit fees, or prepayment premiums) of such Purchased Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

(23)

Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Purchase Date and as of each date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Purchased Loan by Buyer.

(24)

Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Mortgaged Property or related security for such Purchased Loan, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor, no fees are payable to such trustee except for de minimis fees paid.

With respect to each Purchased Loan, the related Purchased Loan Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the TRIA, or damages related thereto except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided, however, that if the TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Purchased Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Purchased Loan Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Purchased Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

(32)

Single-Purpose Entity. Each Purchased Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Purchased Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Loan Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Purchased Loan with a principal amount on the Purchase Date of $5 million or more provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Purchased Loan with a principal amount on the Purchase Date of $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For purposes of this Paragraph (32), a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Purchased Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Purchased Loan Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Purchased Loan Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.
